I love this place, both for breakfast and lunch. The owner Sal has just fixed me a delicious vegetarian pizza. Everyone is very friendly and I always enjoy my coffee with a meal. A place worth visiting.

A local institution. Salvatore and Louisa are super friendly and passionate about their business. Fantastic people who serve great coffee and delicious food to locals and passers by alike with the same enthusiasm and friendliness each and every day. Closed on Tuesdays.

Love the decor, love the ricotta cake, love the staff but most of all love the coffee. What a friendly place - the owners are just so gracious - they're the main reason I keep going back. Always delicious and always served with a smile. It's a long way from the city but that doesn't mean the standard isn't as high or even higher than the city. A hidden gem well worth the trip out.

An unexpected and absolutely brilliant find. The coffee is legitimately authentic and wondrously so (Italian, rich, smooth); the staff are brilliant; the decor is great; the food is very good; and the atmosphere is awesome. Ask Sal about a 'dirty hot chocolate' (hot chocolate with a shot of coffee); their hot chocolate is to die for (as is the coffee). Outside and inside seating; the omelettes are great; open most days from 6AM until 3PM (closed Tuesdays). I had a flat white and a lovely spinach and ricotta slice; my friend had an omelette. Full marks. A huge bonus is that they have the cleanest and best rest-room I have seen in many a year at any café. The menu has a wide range of food from cakes to meals and sandwiches, focaccia, pancakes and much more.

Lots of focaccia options. I also had the chilli crab omelete - tasted nice, large portion size. Friendly staff and very Italian vibe (a bit loud but fun).

The best coffee, excellent service and really good food. The Italian owner's personal touch makes you feel so welcome and spend a long time in that cafe, sampling all the goodies to your heart's content.

Nice friendly spot with a hat tip to Italian coffee joints. Coffee was strong but delicious. Also came in a funky glass. Cakes looked great and there was room to move a pram but best to sit outside.
